I watched by fair share of NBA when I was in the US, mainly at MSG because the Knicks were shit and tickets were dirt cheap.
Basketball can be excruciatingly dull when it’s a one sided game but the last couple of minutes of a close game can be some of the most gripping in sport.
What amused...
When I lived in New York I was a regular visitor to MSG to see the Knicks who were (and still are) absolutely crap. Still enjoyed it though.
But I think Sky missed a trick spunking money on the NBA. Nowhere near as good as the NHL - by far the fastest most exciting and skilful sport you can...
